 		Overuse of spoilers
I have seen it way overused when people are speculating on solves (it's not the real solve, just their guess) in PXC when I have lurked around.

 		I vote that we all flip off vpisteve at our earliest opportunity.

It'll be a sweet flash mob, to be sure!

 		Bad bad steve
That is an example of inappropriate Spoiler Tag use.

I shall send a very polite PM to vpisteve about the proper use of spoiler tags.

But will you also edit his post? Is that appropriate? There were times during The Lost Experience that I gladly added information outside the spoiler tag (such as episode number) to give people enough warning to know if they wanted to avoid the block. There were times when I pulled stuff out of the spoiler block to use as that description. Rarely did I feel the need to expose the entire block of hidden text, but lately in other games I'm seeing a real need to do so.

Basically I'm asking, is this an appropriate use of a moderator's powers, to reveal things that the community feels should not have been spoiler-hidden in the first place?

Might get changed to:

krystyn, i really wish you had spoiler tagged that.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
now the surprise will be totally ruined.
:/

[edit - to clarify what should be spoilered and what is needed for community knowledge - let's save the spoilers just for the end solve in case someone wants to do the work themselves first - kona]

Depends on the content.
